Hi,

I'm an old school flatlander from the 80s. I've been away from riding for years, and getting the bug again. Back when I was 20 I broke two bones in my wrist when I overcooked a backwards decade. It healed up fine and hasn't bothered me since, but I'm a little worried that my 39 year old body needs a little protection. Anyone have recommendations for wrist protection that don't get in the way too much?

What are the aging old school riders using for easing the aches and pains?

Thanks,
Henbo

I have some torn cartilage in my left wrist and I use this weird self adhesive wrap stuff for it. Guards and braces really geti n the way and can start hurting but the wrap works really well.

I use boxer's handwraps like this: http://www.modells.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3813947&s=D-StorePrice-MOD&cp=3201689.3202312.2669278.694024


Works great for me, plus I feel all baddass
Got to wear gloves as well though otherwise the part that crosses your palm gets all chewed up.

Would you be able to provide a link to the stuff you use? thanks.

Stuff in the top middle basically.

Just restricts movement around my wrist enough so that only more extreme bends hurt it.
